Hi, I´m Joey
It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.
While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”
Time passes without consent
Jonathan and I just recently celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary. And today is my last day as a 30 year old. Over the weekend, we got to have lunch with my best friend from HS and Jonathan's best friend from college. (Fun fact, my MOH married his best man.) And...
The time the swat team was at my house
We have lived in our quaint, little house on Campbell's campus for about 10 months now. Sometime last week, our washing machine started freaking out. Now, we rent. So I knew we'd have to let maintenance know that the washer was going--but I've rented long enough to know that...

On kick starting
Hi Friends! First of all--we are anticipating a good amount of snow today. And here in NC we see snow some, but it always ignites a level of excitement (okay, or panic for some). So I am sitting here in my office with a stupid little smile just staring out the window every few minutes...
HI, I'M JOEY
Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.
My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.

YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOKS
For the deep feeler, the over-thinker & the one who’s trying to figure out where they fit.
I write for the ones who feel like they’re too much and not enough all at the same time. For the ones navigating big questions about identity, self-worth, relationships, and those in-between life moments no one really prepares you for.
My stories offer a mix of comfort and catharsis—like a late-night journal entry or a favorite nostalgic playlist. If you love Taylor Swift lyrics, soft heartbreak, and hopeful endings, you just might find a piece of yourself in these pages.
